Work on the album Moderna Žena began in 2013, briefly after the conclusion of the singer's The Bižuterija Tour (2011–12) in promotion of her second studio album. Unlike her previous records, Moderna Žena is musically diverse and incorporates several musical elements, ranging from traditional Dalmatian and Balkan folk music to electronic dance music (EDM), modern pop and rap. Lyrically, the songs on the album are marked by feminist undertones with most songs discussing a female protagonist's experiences with love. Critically, the album was well received by the public and music critics who praised the sonic diversity.
Moderna Žena achieved significant commercial success, peaking at number one on the Croatian Albums Chart immediately after its release. It subsequently spent a total of 17 weeks at that position, receiving a gold certification by the Croatian Phonographic Association [hr], three months after its release, becoming the singer's third solo studio album to achieve such a feat. As part of the album's promotion, Rozga held a listening party on 26 January 2017 and embarked on a small regional tour. Additionally, four singles were released from the album, including lead single "Pismo-Glava" and the title song in 2016 and "Žileti" and "Ne Pijem, Ne Pušim" in 2017. The album received a nomination for Best Pop Album at the 2017 Porin Awards. It emerged as the best-selling album in Croatia at the end of 2017 and was listed as one of the most-streamed albums on Deezer in 2018.
